10 Killer Features for Apple’s iWatch

Color E-Ink Hybrid Display

One of the most annoying things about the I’m Watch and Sony SmartWatch is that you had to press a button to check the time after the screen times out. If you can’t glance down to get the time, you lose the essence of a watch’s original purpose. Apple could solve this issue with a hybrid LCD/electronic paper display, a technology the company received a patent for in 2011. The display would be able to automatically switch between e-ink and full-color modes based on the content being viewed. Now that’s a smart watch.

I’m trying to be objective here, but why would anybody want to pay for something that does the exact same thing as their smartphone, but worse, due to a smaller screen? I actually hope this article was a joke because apps, really, on a watch? and Wi-Fi, what for? To say your watch has Wi-Fi? The only useful thing mentioned here was the health monitor. But to be honest, I’d rather just buy a high-quality Swiss watch that I wouldn’t be embarrassed to wear out in public than an Apple watch.

My sister is a teacher and this would unlock many students toying with their watch instead of their phone leaving us thinking they’re paying attention because they’re not using their phone but they are. Kinda.
